Unfortunately, none of the suggestions to find 802.1W at Cisco's site
worked. Perhaps they just don't support it yet, although a normal Google

they have been so concerned with improving the spanning tree algorithm for
many years, adding things like uplink fast, backbone fast, portfast, and
gazillions of other bells and whistles.
